Kenapa org ingat Blur dgn lagu "Song 2" je dan bkn "Stereotype" atau "Tracy Jack" ?

Ia bermula dengan email yang diterima dari encik Albarn....

Boys and Girls la lyn :)

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 7:11pm June 28

Yes. Itu contoh. Tp majoriti org recognize Blur dgn "Song 2". Oasis, musuh ketat Blur pernah claim diri mereka sbg best band in the world when in fact diorg best kat UK je. Blur lg best kt UK dan US, malah US Army pernah request "Song 2" utk tujuan military tp Damon Albarn decline sebab dia anti perang. "Song 2" lah yg buat org US minat Blur. Ia kerap dimainkan ketika game baseball, football dan ice hockey. Malah jeritan "Woohoo" Damon dah siap dilesenkan lg.

org juz taw pe yg dtyg d tv n corong radio..

Zulfo Mahadi at 8:58pm June 28

parklife pun best jugak..sape tu yg mention boys and girls?..ahahaha..

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 9:02pm June 28

Kalau nak kira, lain2 kes terpencil Blur di radio dan tv ialah "Coffee & TV", "Tender", "Parklife", dan "Beetlebum", tp "Song 2" lebih dr 2 medium tu. X mustahil akan diselitkan dalam lain2 acara spt kenduri kawin. Ia dtg dr strategi budaya Amerika oleh gitaris Graham Coxon yg suruh Blur utk kurangkan dos britpop dan lebihkan alternatif yg brada di puncaknya di US ketika itu. Masa Graham Coxon keluar dr Blur tahun 2003, Blur dah jd mcm hilang deria.

I can name 5 Oasis songs in the same amount of time it'd take me to think of two Blur songs. Taktau kenapa.

Stone Roses are better than both, though.

Zulfo Mahadi at 9:11pm June 28

hw bout the cure?byk band2 america influence by the cure

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 9:22pm June 28

Yes, and i can remember only one album by Blur, that is Parklife, and not the self titled album yg ada lagu "Song 2" tu. And i can name 2 album by Oasis. But America and maybe the rest of the world will always remember "Song 2". Oasis... Let me count, 1, 2, 3... Wonderwall.

Stone Roses memang superior. Same par with My Bloody Valentine. Dan mereka gone kaput sebelum org mula mengenali britpop.

Azzief Abdul Khaliq at 9:24pm June 28

Wonderwall!

Zulfo Mahadi at 9:25pm June 28

oasis?too many song too mention..sgt best..

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 9:33pm June 28

That said Stone Roses dan My Bloody Valentine berada di masa yg salah. Cuba kalau debut diorg keluar antara tahun 1993-94? Aku rasa Blur, Oasis dan mungkin Radiohead pun xleh cari makan. But these 2 bands, they inspire the movement.

As for The Cure, mungkin kita boleh lihat sejarah Robert Smith ketika dia brsama Siouxie lg. Kau lupa sebut The Smiths, Zulfo Mahadi.

Azzief Abdul Khaliq at 9:34pm June 28

Aku setuju.

Zulfo Mahadi at 9:35pm June 28

the smiths?huhu..lg legend..

Emang Manang at 9:36pm June 28

waa,,topik yg gw mnat,,cam bce magz lak,,caya r lu bro blitz..

Emang Manang at 9:41pm June 28

madchester!!!!
joy division legend.
radio NME awrd no 1 madchester anthem-love will tear us apart..

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 9:47pm June 28

Cadangnya memang utk magazine. Sebab Blur tgh reunion. Tp skang nampaknya org sedang sibuk dgn artis yg mempengaruhi video "Geli Mat". Hahahaha

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 9:56pm June 28

Aku x leh cerita pasal Joy Division dan label Factory tu, nanti aku bias, sebab aku obses gila kat designer Peter Saville. Hahaha

cukuplah kita menonton 2 filem "24 Hour Party People" dan "Control" serta mengingati peristiwa Shaun Ryder menjadikan rakaman Happy Mondays sbg tawanan sehingga melingkupkan Factory Records dan seluruh scene Madchester.

Emang Manang at 10:00pm June 28

haha,,jolo tuh bro,,bia redo dulu lakow,,

Ikhwan Razak at 11:15am June 29

aku tau Song 2 sebab aku men game fifa kat pc..thanks EA Sport.

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 11:44am June 29

Ha'ah. Expose awal lagu ni ialah dlm game Fifa dan trailer filem Starship Troopers yg tayang masa Buletin Utama kt TV3. Time tu aku mula rasa yg lagu ni dah overused.

Emang Manang at 12:37pm June 29

lagu tu teramat catchy wlaupn 2 mnit,,

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 12:52pm June 29

Aku suka lirik dia yg selamba tu. "when i feel heavy metal, i'm a pin and a needle. When i lie and not easy all the time but i never sure why i need u, please to meet u." Aku dok tertanya2 part mana yg heavy metal, adakah kerana pertukaran dinamik ala2 The Pixies tu? Dan aku terpikir balik Damon Albarn ni nyanyi tentang subjek apa sebenarnya.

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 12:56pm June 29

Dan aku rasa lagu "Bank Holiday" dr album "Parklife" lg heavy metal terutama bahagian jeritan akhir Damon.

Ikhwan Razak at 12:56pm June 29

pin and needles?yeargh,deftones!

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 1:03pm June 29

"Needles & Pins" ialah lagu klasik yg pernah dipopularkan oleh band era 60s, The Searches. The Ramones pernah cover lagu ni. Megadeth pula pernah sample lagu ni dlm lagu "Use The Man" dlm album Cryptic Writing.

Ikhwan Razak at 1:10pm June 29

Ooo.mati2 aku ingat Search Amy tu..Hahaha..So deftones nyanyi balik lagu nie?..

Ahmad Blitzenius Nazri at 1:18pm June 29

Xde kena mengena dgn Deftones, tp needles and pins tu terma yg kerap digunapakai dlm rock n roll.

Lagu "Spin The Black Circle" oleh Pearl Jam yg pasal piring hitam tu pun kalau org twist lirik dia boleh bg maksud lain sebab ada perkataan needle.
